Examples
View File Contents
Display the contents of the file diceRoll
. Since diceRoll
does not exist, but diceRoll.m
does exist, MATLAB displays the contents of diceRoll.m
.
type diceRoll
function [d1,d2] = diceRoll str = '@()randi([1 6],1)'; d1 = str2func(str); d2 = eval(str); end function r = randi(~,~) r = 1; end
Input Arguments
filename
— File name
character vector | string
File name to display, specified as a character vector or a string.
filename
can be an absolute or relative path and can
include a path and a file extension. type
supports file
names with these extensions, files with any other extension are treated as
plain text.
File Extension | Description |
---|---|
.mlx | MATLAB Live Script — An interactive document created using MATLAB Live Editor |
.mlapp | MATLAB App File — An app created using MATLAB App Designer |
.m | MATLAB Code — A MATLAB script, function, or class |
If you do not specify a file extension and a file without
an extension does not exist, then type
assumes that the
extension is .mlx
, .mlapp
, or
.m
. For example, if a file
myscript.m
exists, then the command type
myscript
displays the contents of that file.
type
leverages automatic character set detection to
determine the file encoding for MATLAB code (.m) and other text files.
